“From the moment I left that meeting, I actually started a shunning campaign much like the one you’ve described. She was just trouble.”
I used to work at a large company - had a gal just like that. I could tell she was bad news from the start when they hired her and would be VERY short in any conversations and to the point (she was our secretary so had to deal with her). Yes she was cute and dress nice and flirt, but it was just too much. A year later she ended up having a quick affair with my boss, sued, etc. Boss lost his job, etc.
Well yeah, I had to deal with this one too — for the last few weeks before she quit, I was her boss. When she first found out I was the new team supervisor, she tried breaking the ice. It didn’t work. I almost laughed.
All communication was very short, it was strictly business related, and I was trying to give her a case of frostbite every time she heard my voice.
When I joined that company, emotionally I was still in high school. By the time I left a couple years later I was about 40.
